Kleine Erfrischung gefällig? Auf der Strecke von Lahnstein nach Koblenz bei mindestens 30° Celsius

You would think that they could find some way to make meters fit in with their surroundings, or at least less ugly.

A set of urban water meters in a building (2010, Antakia, Turkey)

Today I had hoped to visit a number of parks in order to photograph autumn leaves but I was unable to do so because of the disruption to public transport caused by a large number of public protests throughout the city of Dublin.

 

To people outside Ireland it may appear odd that people are protesting against the introduction of water charges but unlike other countries people in Ireland know that paying for a service does not in any way imply that they will in fact get the service that they are paying for.

 

There is also a real fear that the service will eventually be sold to a private enterprise [most likely based abroad].

 

Over the last seven years earnings have gone down, unemployment has increased and the government has introduced a variety of non-progressive taxes that have impacted badly on low and middle earners.

A shot of water meters while we had a session with fellow friends at the Water Village.

 

We had a lot of fun :)

I went to the Open Day at the Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street on the 13th of May 2012.

 

At the Dollman Street Stores they have objects that are not currently on display in the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery or Think Tank. Some items used to be in the old Museum of Science & Industry on Newhall Street.

 

In the warehouse at the Museum Collections Centre - 25 Dollman Street. Lots of large items in here.

Woodscrew Making Machine - Used to put slots in Screw Heads by Baxters (Bolts, Screws and Rivets), in their Sheepcote Street, Birmingham factory.

I saw the same two boys replacing watermeters twice within a couple of hours, so got a shot of each of them.

 

And when they are down a hole in the road they are kind of trapped...

The gal saw us taking a pic of her meter. When asked about how colourful it was she said, "oh, the whole hosue used to be that colour, we just thought we'd leave a little bit to remind us."

Item 50437, Water Department Photographic Negatives (Record Series 8200-13 ), Seattle Municipal Archives.

This is one of 638 painted water access covers in New Orleans since 2018. They are painted by a street artist named LeLuna. What a scavenger hunt it would be to find and photograph them...
